Description

International Application Number: PCT/CN2011/001579 Amphiphilic macromolecule and use thereof Technical Field This invention relates to an amphiphilic macromolecule and uses thereof, and this amphiphilic macromolecule is applicable to oilfield drilling, well cementing, fracturing, crude oil gathering and transporting, sewage treating, sludge treating and papermaking, and it can be used as intensified oil producing agent and oil displacing agent, heavy oil viscosity reducer, fracturing fluid, clay stabilizer, sewage treating agent, retention aid and drainage aid and strengthening agent for papermaking.
Background of the Invention Chemical flooding is one of the most effective and potential chemical technology for Enhanced Oil Recovery, which is especially represented by polymer flooding.
However, there arise some problems for conventional polymers along with the deep implementation of polymer flooding technology. Under reservoir conditions of high temperature and high salinity, the viscosifying capacity and thermal stability of the widely used polymer, partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), reduces rapidly;
in the meantime, HPAM does not have the surface/interfacial activity per se, and could not start the oil film effectively, so that its ability to mine the remaining oil is limited. The polymer-based binary-component composite system (polymer/surfactant) and triple-component system (polymer/surfactant/alkali) may enhance the stability of the emulsified produced fluid, resulting in increased difficulty in oil/water separation and sewage treatment, as well as the weakening of synergistic effect among the components of the system under reservoir conditions, and also it may damage the reservoir. The application of the composite system is thus restricted.
It has become a difficulty and key for many large oilfield development to keep the viscosifying capacity and viscosity stability of the polymer solution, so as to achieve the strategic target of stabilization of oil production and water cut control.
Heavy oil is a collective name for unconventional oil, including heavy oil, high viscosity oil, oil sand, natural asphalt and etc., and they are also referred to as heavy International Application Number: PCT/CN2011/001579 oil, ultra-heavy oil, asphalt and etc. Among the approximate 10 trillion barrels of remaining oil resources around the world, more than 70% of which is heavy oil resource. Chinese onshore heavy oil and bitumen resources account for about more than 20% of their total oil resources. According to an incomplete statistics, the proved and controlled heavy oil reserves in China reach 1600 million tons. Nowadays heavy oil resource has become one of the important strategic replacement resources in China;
however, the exploitation of heavy oil is rather difficult. Chemical emulsification and viscosity reduction method has become an important exploitation technology.
Polymeric emulsification viscosity reducer usually refers to the polymeric surfactant with a relative molecular weight more than several thousands and significant surface activity; according to the ion types, it can be divided into four categories: anionic, cationic, zwitterionic and non-ionic polymeric surfactant.
Polymeric surfactant usually has limited capacity to reduce surface tension and oil-water interfacial tension, but has excellent emulsification and dispersion capability for heavy oil, with advantages of small usage amount, high viscosity reduction rate, lower cost and simple implementation process. In recent years, this research especially attracts more and more attention in this field.

Measurement Examples Measurement Example 1 Saline having a mineralization degree of 2x104mg/L was used to prepare amphiphilic macromolecule solutions with different concentrations, and the relationship between the concentration, temperature and the viscosity of the solution was determined. The results were shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
The figures showed that the amphiphilic macromolecule solutions of examples International Application Number: PCT/CN2011/001579 1-5 still have favorable viscosifying capacity under the condition of high temperature and high degree of mineralization. The highly sterically hindered unit in the amphiphilic macromolecule reduced the rotational degree of freedom in the main chain and increased the rigidity of the macromolecule chain, which made the macromolecule chain difficult to curl and tend to stretch out, thus enlarging the hydrodynamic radius of the macromolecule; in the meantime, the amphiphilic structural unit associated each other to form the microdomain by intramolecular- or intermolecular- interaction, thus enhancing the viscosifying capacity of the solution remarkably under the conditions of high temperature and high salinity.
Measurement Example 2 Testing method: Under a testing temperature of 25 , 25m1 electric dehydration crude oil samples from three types of oilfields were added in a 50m1 test tube with a plug, then 25ml aqueous solutions of amphiphilic macromolecule with different concentrations formulated with distilled water were added in. The plug of the test tube was tightened, then the test tube was shaken manually or by using an oscillating box for 80-100 times in horizontal direction, and the shaking amplitude should be greater than 20cm. After sufficient mixing, the plug of the test tube was loosed.

With the increase of the concentration of the amphiphilic macromolecule solution, the viscosity reduction rate increased. And, when the concentration of the amphiphilic macromolecule solution was the same, the viscosity reduction rate increased with the enhancing of the viscosity of the oil sample. It was believed that the amphiphilic macromolecule could reduce the viscosity of the crude oil remarkably via a synergetic effect between the highly sterically hindered structural unit and the amphiphilic structural unit, which could emulsify and disperse the crude oil effectively.
Industrial Application The amphiphilic macromolecule of this invention can be used in oilfield drilling, well cementing, fracturing, crude oil gathering and transporting, sewage treating, sludge treating and papermaking, and it can be used as intensified oil producing agent and oil displacing agent, heavy oil viscosity reducer, fracturing fluid, clay stabilizer, sewage treating agent, retention aid and drainage aid and strengthening agent for papermaking.
The amphiphilic macromolecule of this invention is especially suitable for crude oil exploitation, for instance, it can be used as an intensified oil displacement polymer and a viscosity reducer for heavy oil. When it is used as an oil displacement agent, it has remarkable viscosifying effect even under the condition of high temperature and high salinity, and can thus enhance the crude oil recovery. When it is used as a viscosity reducer for heavy oil, it can remarkably reduce the viscosity of the heavy oil and decrease the flow resistance thereof in the formation and wellbore by emulsifying and dispersing the heavy oil effectively.
